So having a bad day with saws and decided to change my focus to get a fresh outlook. Of course I then continue with the bad day coming into cracks deep in the resin infused maple mallet I was turning for myself. Turning is quiet and tends to be a good stress reliever..... Most of the time. But not this time.

So I was just going to throw away the little carving mallet in frustration. Then remembered a couple of gent saw handles I did not particularly care for and decided to try a 2 piece mallet.
So "OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!"

I thought about using a red heart or blood wood handle, but I have plenty of black walnut handles at the moment. So walnut took one for the team.

I wanted a small ferrule so off to the metal lathe I went and off came a brass ring. :
Then a quick redesign in CAD. Quick for me, anyway.
